[RFC PATCH v2 10/11] powerpc: Support to replay PMIs

Code to replay the Performance Monitoring Interrupts(PMI).
In the masked_interrupt handler, for PMIs we reset the MSR[EE]
and return. This is due the fact that PMIs are level triggered.
In the __check_irq_replay(), we enabled the MSR[EE] which will
fire the interrupt for us.

Patch also adds a new arch_local_irq_disable_var() variant. New
variant takes an input value to write to the paca->soft_enabled.
This will be used in following patch to implement the tri-state
value for soft-enabled.
